if you can still get the extended warranty you should be ok with "most" of the problems if you have a decent dealership around, the TSBs will fix most the minor problems.. check the paint mainly.. nissan oem paint just sucks..

Look at the 02-03 Max's if you can....6-speed!
If you do get a 00-01 Max look for ignition coil replacement due to engine knocking (I had it on my 2K), paint chip problems (still on my 2K2), and try and get the 5-speed, the auto that I had was good but was prone to slipping after 60K miles (some)
